Mastervolt AGM batteries

Product catalog summary

Product Identification
Mastervolt AGM batteries are manufactured by Mastervolt in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The product line includes various models such as AGM-55Ah, AGM-70Ah, and others.

Hazardous Ingredients
The batteries contain inorganic lead/lead compounds (65%-75%), tin (<0.5%), calcium (<0.1%), dilute sulfuric acid (~20%), and fiberglass separator (~5%).

Physical Data
Key components include lead, lead sulfate, lead dioxide, and sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is a clear, colorless liquid with a sharp odor.

Flammability Data
Lead and sulfuric acid are non-flammable. Hydrogen gas may be emitted if batteries are overcharged, posing a fire risk.

Reactivity Data
Lead compounds are stable but incompatible with certain chemicals. Sulfuric acid is stable but reacts with metals and organic compounds.

Health Hazard Data
Under normal conditions, the battery is non-hazardous. Exposure to sulfuric acid can cause severe respiratory and skin irritation. Lead exposure can lead to serious health issues.

Carcinogenicity
Sulfuric acid mist is classified as a carcinogen. Lead compounds are considered probable carcinogens.

Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Spills should be contained and neutralized. Batteries should be stored in a cool, dry area away from ignition sources.

Ecological Information
Lead poses environmental risks if released.

Control Measures
Use protective equipment when handling damaged batteries. Ensure proper ventilation.

Transportation Regulations
The batteries are classified as non-restricted for transport if they meet specific packaging and labeling requirements.

Regulatory Information
Lead and sulfuric acid are listed under various regulatory frameworks. Proper reporting and disposal are required.

FLAMMABILITY DATA COMPONENTS Lead Sulfuric Acid Hydrogen FLASHPOINT None None -- EXPLOSIVE LIMITS None None LEL=4.1% Fiberglass Separator Acrylonitrile Butadine Styrene (ABS) COMMENTS None None Sealed batteries can emit hydrogen only if over charged (float voltage >2.4 VPC). The gas enters the air through the vent caps. To avoid the chance of a fire or explosion, keep sparks and other sources of ignition away from the battery. Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, CO2 Toxic vapors may be released. In case of fire: wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Temperatures over 300 °C (572°F) may release combustible gases. In case of fire: wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. Polypropylene will burn but does not easily ignite. In case of fire: wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.

Material Safety Data Sheet VII. CARCINOGENICITY Carcinogenicity Sulfuric Acid: The National Toxicological Program (NTP) and The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have classified strong inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid as a Category 1 carcinogen, a substance that is carcinogenic to humans. The ACGIH has classified strong inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid as an A2 carcinogen (suspected human carcinogen). These classifications do not apply to liquid forms of sulfuric acid or sulfuric acid solutions contained within a battery. Inorganic acid mist (sulfuric...
